Quote:
"[Patricia Rozema] did something I'd never seen anyone do on a film before: She directed a scene with her four-year-old snuggled in her lap. 'What are the two words Mommy says?' she asked the angelic blond, who was in costume to play a hobo extra. 'Action and cut,' the tot said. 'And in between, what do you do?' Rozema asked. 'Zip it!' her daughter squeaked, pulling a finger across her pursed lips."
